From the recording Good Old Days
Lyrics
[Intro]
doo doo doo doo
[Verse 1]
I know your mornings from the clink of your spoon,
Sun in the window, kettle warming soon.
You say sit and I settle by your knee,
You say stay and I guard what you can’t see.
[Pre-Chorus]
When you say come, I run that road,
Back to the place where the quiet grows.
[Chorus]
Say the word and I’m by your side,
Step for step in an easy stride.
If the day turns rough or the sky goes gray,
I’ll keep your pace and lead the way.
Heel when you move, I’m yours to find,
Your steady beat and your peace of mind.
[Verse 2]
I can read your doorway like a folded page,
Storm on your shoulders, cooling coffee haze.
You say leave it and I let it go,
You say easy and we walk it slow.
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world crowds in too tight,
I’ll make more room and find your light.
[Chorus]
Say the word and I’m by your side,
Step for step in an easy stride.
If the day turns rough or the sky goes gray,
I’ll keep your pace and lead the way.
Heel when you move, I’m yours to find,
Your steady beat and your peace of mind.
[Bridge]
Hold me close when the minutes run long,
I’ll carry your breath like a soft, small song,
I’ll turn the corner with your hand in mine,
Four low notes and the road feels fine.
[Break]
[Chorus]
Say the word and I’m by your side,
Step for step in an easy stride.
If the night runs long, I’ll light your way,
We’ll walk it home at the break of day.
Heel when you move, I’m yours to find,
Your steady beat and your peace of mind.
[Outro]
